The SM&SF Club was established in 1898 as the Swedish Music & Sick Fraternity. At that time, Swedish singing societies were popular in the Midwest, with singing competitions being held throughout the year. The early Swedish immigrants were also a strong ethnic group that took care of each other, both physically and financially, during times of illness and death.
Today, the SM&SF Club is a non-profit social club with membership that exceeds 600 members. It still maintains an old tradition of caring for the community by its annual “Kick-In for Cancer” fundraisers that have raised over $30,000 a year to benefit the local hospital’s oncology departments and our local hospice care providers.
Hello, Everyone!
We had some exciting events in April. The 1st Eggstra Special Egg Hunt was a success, along with the Annual Easter Egg Hunt. Thank you to all who volunteered! We also had a huge undertaking at the park with the removal and reconstruct over the creek crossing. A BIG thank you to all those who gave up their Easter weekend to get this accomplished.
May brings Mother’s Day Breakfast on the 11th at Sandy Hollow. Please get out and enjoy your Club and Park.
Have a wonderful Memorial Day. Remember those who served. Thank you!
Aaron Aaronson
